Good Food Ireland Week Cork – eat now!

Last night I was at the launch of the Good Food Ireland Week Cork in, naturally enough, the English Market. An array of Good Food Ireland producers had teamed up with restaurant, hotel and café members to showcase their products and there was a multi-course feast lined up on the Farmgate Café balcony overlooking the fountain.

The whole event, which was packed with a loudly appreciative audience from the 7pm start to the finish of the food, was highlighting the fact that more than 30 Cork restaurants, hotels, cafés and bars are offering a plate of Irish artisan food and glass of wine for just €15 until Friday 12 Febuary. Selected hotels in Cork, including Hayfield Manor and Ballyvolane House, are offering three nights accomodation for the price of two this week. If you’re heading towards Ballyvolane House, it is also a superb place for dinner and make sure to check out their Lismore restaurant O’Brien Chop House, recently awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for good, affordable food.

More information and a list of participating venues are available on www.goodfoodireland.ie. If the quality of food on offer last night is anything to go by, customers are in for a treat. Don’t forget – the offer closes on Friday!

As far as I know, Clare, Good Food Ireland intend to run more of these food weeks around the country. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of good eating when you move over! When are you coming down to visit us in the south?
